My Ure produced fruit 3 years after being planted and hasn't produced since. 
It does bloom prolifically as does Gold Spice and one other zone 3 pear 
planted next to it. As pears go it was pretty tasty. These pears bloom weeks 
before anything else and so (at least for me) catch as many late frosts as 
possible during their bloom period.   Rodney
